1 & 2 December > Gare Maritime

Gare Maritime is a former freight station that has undergone major renovations to restore much of its original architectural heritage while creating a massive interior space for sustainable events, offices and retail. Maison de la Poste will house all EVPA Impact Week events on Thursday and Friday.

Located along the canal in the progressive city district of Tour & Taxis, it is a destination where all businesses are impact-conscious, where innovation and artistry open up debate and action, to impact society for the better and to accelerate the pace by leading the way. 

Maison de la Poste began as Hôtel de l’Administration, serving as Tour & Taxis’ administrative centre for telephone and telegraph services in the early 20th century. In the 1970s the building was used as a post office, earning the name Hôtel de la Poste in the process. In the 1990s Hôtel de la Poste even housed a popular nightclub!

30 November > Magritte Museum

The Musée Magritte Museum brings together the world's largest collection of the renowned surrealist artist René Magritte: 230 works and archives are displayed. Opened in 2009, the multidisciplinary space houses paintings, gouaches, drawings, sculptures and painted objects, as well as advertising posters, musical scores, photographs and films. Magritte Museum will host all EVPA Impact Week events on Wednesday, including C Summit opening and exclusive dinner.

We took surrealism as the center theme for the Impact Week. Not just visually, with  Magritte's masterpieces, but conceptually, too. Because, as the artists famously said: 

"To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been."
​—​​​​​​ René Magritte
